Your Favorite Tech Support Web Sites and Why?

Where do you go to participate in technical discussions besides UNIX.COM and why?

Personally, I do not really participate in other forums and discussion boards, but I do ask questions from time to time on Stack sites. The problem I have with Stack is that my questions are never answered on any topic; so perhaps they are not the standard, beginner questions that we often see. Or, perhaps I not good at asking questions, haha.

This means for me, I normally get my tech answers from a Google search or watching a tutorial video; because I have very bad luck asking questions and getting answers in forums and other discussion sites.

I also find Stack sites to be really restrictive, because these sites do not really promote back and forth discussions, but they are rather "post a question and vote up the best answer" sites. So, when I try to post on any of these kind of sites, I cannot get any sense of community; but that's me I guess; maybe others have better experiences?

I do like the fact that the Stack sites are not forum based but taxonomy (tag) based, so there is no need to post in a particular forum or designed area on the site; but just tag the post with one or more keywords and go.

Also, on the Stack sites, I have difficulty with code tags and other BB code tags; and sometimes I really struggle to get code posted. This means for me, I often get good information from Stack but only from a Google search referral, but rarely, to almost never, get my written questions answered.

How about about you?

NAME
XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder - A Drag and Drop function that reorders a stack of widgets that are registered drop sites SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/DragDrop.h> void XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder (widget, sibling, stack_mode) Widget widget; Widget sibling; Cardinal stack_mode; DESCRIPTION
XmDropSiteConfigureStackingOrder changes the stacking order of the drop site specified by widget. The stacking order controls the manner in which drag-under effects are clipped by overlapping siblings, regardless of whether they are active. The stack mode is relative either to the entire stack, or to another drop site within the stack. The stack order can be modified only if the drop sites are siblings in both the widget and drop site hierarchy, and the widget parent of the drop sites is registered as a composite drop site. Specifies the drop site to be restacked. Specifies a sibling drop site for stacking operations. If specified, then widget is restacked relative to this drop site's stack position. Specifies the new stack position for the specified widget. The values are XmABOVE and XmBELOW. If a sibling is specified, then widget is restacked as follows: The widget is placed just above the sibling. The widget is placed just below the sibling. If the sibling parameter is not specified, then widget is restacked as follows: The widget is placed at the top of the stack. The widget is placed at the bottom of the stack.
